Quick And Dirty

A quick development server with live-reload and regeneration. Ideal for html-in-js

This is a simple development server that can be used to have a live-preview of your site that regenerates automatically as you work.

Usage

1. Download this package
2. Set up your configuration by creating a config.json
3. Start the server: npm start

Now the server will detect changes as you save, regenerate the site if needed, and automatically cause the browser to refresh the page.

Features

You can use Quick-And-Dirty:

1. As a simple HTTP server (set livereload to false)
   • In this mode, it will act as a simple web server
2. As a live-reloading server (set regenerate to false or just delete it from the config)
   • In this mode, the server will monitor the site for changes and inject a script into every HTML page that causes it to refresh correctly when pages change.
3. As a regenerating and live-reloading sever
   • In this mode, the server will also watch the regenerate paths and call the regenerate script when it detects any changes
